Introduction to the OR Seminar, Helped establish a student led standardized introduction to the OR for 3rd year medical students to allow them to be more comfortable in the OR and what to expect during various surgeries. Rock Climbing Expeditions, During undergrad, I organized and led various trips through the school to teach others how to rock climb outdoors. Each expedition consisted of 3-4 participants whom I was solely responsible for and lasted anywhere from 2-5 days. Locations included Kentucky, Nevada, and Utah and often required that I orchestrate a means of travel for the group.
